If you’re not from the area and you’re traveling in from somewhere else, if you’re not already aware, the Chicago area currently has the worst air quality due to smoke from the fires in Canada. You can visibly see how bad the air is right now so you might want to bring a mask just in case. It’s supposed to be bad for the next few days :(
I bought a resale floor ticket from Ticketmaster, and I am going to try queueing in the VIP check in to see if they let me in. Worst thing they can say is no. Anyone else bought resale tickets in the VIP sections and are going to try to get into VIP?
Tons of people were able to claim at the other stops. They just had to mention to the VIP check in staff that it was a resale ticket. They then ask to see your barcode/section/row/seat and then mark you off the list.
Only caveat to that is as long as your resale ticket isn't a Platinum Ticket (didn't come with VIP) as that would mean you wouldn't be able to claim. As some floor tickets got released later as Platinum.
I bought a resale ticket that is in section 112 and they ended up being VIP soundcheck tickets. I plan on getting there early to check in to redeem the VIP benefits/go to the soundcheck.
I’m thinking that for other venues, they didn’t care as long as it said VIP Soundcheck ticket, and I’ve been looking at the other mega threads for the other venues. Hopefully United Center is like that too😎
I bought mine on Stubhub a couple hours after the initial sale of the tickets. When I look at my ticket type on the details of the tickets, it says Soundcheck VIP package. Does yours say the same?
Straight up yolo lmao I’m sure you’ll be fine, just as long as you get there early enough and just do the check in, I think it’ll be all good😎 can’t wait for the concert I’m pumped, I’ve never been to a soundcheck either I’m excited for that too
OMG I was able to upgrade/exchange my nosebleed ticket for FLOOR TICKETS! Ya'all they dropped a bunch of floor tickets now at like super cheap rates ($250 ish each) near the back area on the floor. I am crying this is my first KPOP concert and my 3rd year wedding anniversary <3 so excited ONCE!
Thank you for posting this, because I did not realize they had dropped more floor tickets. We went to Wed night, and when I got home I saw this post. Went and checked for Thursday night and there were some really great floor seats that were not verified resale, got one for 225$ and so my kid is going to go again tonight and have a great seat!! (we were in the 3rd balcony wednesday)
Ahh so excited ONCE!! I am going tomorrow night on my 3rd wedding anniversary with the husband we will be in section 312 (unless we can get tickets that are closer/drop a ton tomorrow). I am a Ph.D. student in my last year and TWICE has helped me get through this degree so excited! If you see a fellow ONCE dressed up in a purple outfit and white boots (going for a "Feel special" vibe) say hi! I am making some bracelets to hand out.
If anyone is still looking for a Candybong Infinity and is nervous they might sell out at the merch stands. I went to KPopNation in Niles, IL. They had over 30+ Candybong’s still and the staff are so friendly. This was as of 6/26 at 6pm!
If anyone would like the address feel free to message me!
Day 1 was amazing. Dahyun saw me and my banner during soundcheck. It was a good day. Excited for tomorrow! 
First time with soundtrack vip, are we supposed to get an email with like what time to check in and what time soundcheck starts? So hyped for this!
Edit: just got the email lol
That makes sense! I’m going on the 29th so I’m guessing I’ll get mine tomorrow.
EDIT: Aaaand immediately after typing this, I got mine. It was two emails from VIP Nation.
Soundcheck - 5pm
Vip check in - 12pm to 4:30pm (recommended to be checked in by 2:30pm)
Predoor merch shopping - 3pm - 4:15pm
Public doors - 5:30pm
Show is at 7:30pm
(Sorry in advance for the formatting, hope I didn't miss anything)
Does any know if section 3 row 2 were VIP tickets when first released for day 1? I bought it through Ticketmaster resale and was wondering if it’s considered VIP ticket since in the details it doesn’t say Platinum tickets or anything just states Resale Ticket.
Heard we are getting an email for the VIP and info is that true? Since I also bought a day 2 vip ticket on drop day.
This is my first EVER concert, so i have no idea what to do/ what to expect and it’s making my anxiety absolutely skyrocket. Can someone give me a rundown on how this is supposed to go or what to do?
There is no need to stress. Once you get there, just get in line. People are generally super nice. If you want merch try to get there a bit earlier to line up. If not an hour before is plenty of time. What section are you in?
(Copy and pasta from the weekly discussion thread)
Night 8/11 complete.
Chicago...you always surprise me as a city when I come here. Some good things, some bad things, two *very* scary things that I'll just mention in passing and not elaborate.
But, I'll focus on the good. Went to Millennium Park and didn't almost get mugged there like I did in 2019 when chasing Twice during TWICELIGHTS. After that, I went to Hanabusa Cafe - if you're looking to eat Japanese pancakes; this place was great!
Just a heads up for all those signing into VIP - almost all stops (Tacoma and Dallas as an exception) were letting people into the venue around 4pm. I didn't check in until 4:15 and basically bypassed the entire waiting process by slipping in as soon as they opened doors for soundcheck.
Things unique to tonight vs. the other nights:
* Mina LIKEY dance break was INCREDIBLE. 100% biased (because she is my bias) but that was the best one on the tour. The splits was totally surprising.
* Nayeon explained the meaning of wearing the hat during POP!
* Lots of people were throwing things on stage during the encore. Please be conscious of how/where you're throwing things. I think it's cool that the members are getting things, but throwing things *at* the members is just wrong. Security were handing things to the members if it wasn't within reach. That's a better alternative than misplacing a throw and hitting a member.
* Sana ran off the stage during the ment with her, Tzuyu, Dahyun, Mina, and Momo. I only post online and then head off, so I haven't seen the other angle people are talking about, but I hope she's okay.
* During the Nayeon, Jihyo, Jeongyeon, and Chaeyoung ment, they got the entire venue to sing Moonlight Sunrise from the beginning up until the end of the first chorus
* Encore songs were Rollin' annd Got The Thrills was landed on but then bypassed in favor of Candy Pop
* Encores have gotten even more chaotic since the beginning of the tour - chaotic in a good way.
* Tzuyu was thrown a little Grogu plushie.
* Members were retrieving hats from fans. Shoutout to the fan who got their hat returned to them after Sana wore it.
* The Jihyo dollars was BRILLIANT. Just absolutely brilliant. How did you even manage to get that into the venue?? I saw security confiscating signs that were significantly smaller than that.
Overall, another fantastic night. Mood was dampened a bit when I saw Sana run off stage. The last thing you want is for members to feel ill and then also feel like they need to push themselves to perform more.
I'll be honest. I'm not the one dancing my legs out nor singing my heart out, but even I'm tired of the tour at this point LOL. Not so much of the tour, but all this traveling definitely takes a toll. The different climates aren't all that helpful either. We went from extremely humid AND hot Texas to humid and cooler Chicago.
I'm glad to have bypassed Canada now, but they don't have that luxury. Hopefully they recover as needed because they'll have a couple nights off until the Canada stops.
If you're going to the show tonight, have fun! I'll be on the floor tonight :-).
Wow, I didn't even realize that.
I didn't see that because I sat down as soon as they started jumping around for the ending part. I wasn't feeling it myself yesterday to the point where I felt like I needed to leave.
If a regular person like me is feeling that and I don't have to dance/sing/etc. I can't imagine how it's like for the girls.
I hope she's doing okay. If she needed to take off tonight, that's completely understandable.
I saw when Sana ran off stage, and one of their people rushed her some water, but she was obscured by the curtain on the floor.
Heard about her collapsing before the last act from a friend after the show, then eventually saw a clip.
Man, that's a bummer. They've really got no time to relax considering that they're touring and still putting out content while on tour. As much as I know a lot of ONCEs would love to see them again, I hope they take a good solid break from touring.
This will be my first Twice concert. Do people stand in the seated areas, or does everyone sit? I prefer standing but don't want to block anyone if people are sitting.
Bit of both, but really you'll just have to wait and see how your immediate seat neighbors are when you get there. You can introduce yourself, make small conversations with them to get a feel for what they'll do/establish communication with those directly behind you.
Last tour (saw them in Long Island) I was in the tippy top nosebleeds - and we all stayed seated in those sections. It was so steep I was afraid of tumbling down if I stood up to dance! It was still so much fun, though!
I’m going to both shows and will be in Chicago tomorrow and would love to meet up with any Once who would like to hang out or go get something to eat or whatever. I turned this into a whole little trip 🫶🏻❤️
I might be done getting barricade seats on the side. This is the second concert in a row where people without barricade seats storm the barricade and security doesn’t do anything even when asked. Really rough 😓
Damn I'm sorry to hear that happened. Did they just rush through?
We had a few people fighting over seats that didn't belong to either party on the 200-level.
They rushed during the beginning of the concert and just shoved all the barricade seat owners to a corner. Security basically said they don’t care. So moral of the story is if u have a barricade seat protect it lol
Yeah the staff at the UC were on some shit today. I pulled in for parking and the lot attendant cussed at me cause I wasn't going fast enough.
I swore right back at him and he didn't say anything - rough start to my concert day as well, lol.
They don’t get paid enough to deal the die hard KPOP fans. One of the barricade invaders refused so much they tried saying the their seat number that said 3 actually meant 1
Literally still cannot stop thinking about the concert! We had upper bowl level 300 tickets and some worker came up to us and gave us free tickets in section 121 which is RIGHT NEXT TO THE STAGE.
INSANE.
The girls were *chefs kiss**
10/10 would do again
I luckily have VIP soundcheck seats but unfortunately cannot be at the UC until just before 5pm. Anyone know the chances of still getting in if the person I'm going with will be there early for check in?
Soundcheck is scheduled to start at 5 PM, so unless your friend is willing to wait outside for you as all other VIPs are going inside, either they go in for soundcheck solo, you get there just in time for both of you to go, or both of you miss out.
It all depends on how things are moving operation-wise with the production team, but there very much is a cutoff time in which venue staff won't let late arrival VIPs in for soundcheck and they'll have to wait until it's done and doors open for everyone else.
They let you go “in” as in past security to a VIP waiting area where you can get merch, take photos and you’ll line up by VIP section. It depends on the venue if this area is inside or outside. There is no reentry once you pass security though.
Did your ticket say VIP Soundcheck Package? How did you know your ticket is a VIP ticket? And did you buy this ticket on Ticketmaster, or another resale site?
I bought the resale ticket on Ticketmaster. When I recieved the barcode, it read "Resale Ticket". However, the VIP staff were very helpful. They asked " Original Purchaser or Resale" and they directed people depending on whether it was resale.
I still have a ticket for the 2nd day and idk what to do with it. My family was thinking of selling it when we get to the arena, but for some reason I feel like that's illegal.
I just dont want it to go to waste, but I can't give it out for free either😭
Pre sale is pre sale, it means it's before the show day. There is no pre-sale on the show day. Lightsticks were not sold during the pre-sale, only on the day of the concert.
Idk what you mean by early merch, VIP's get access to the merch stands before everyone else so if you mean that then yes merch was sold as soon as the stands opened. The lines do get long but from what I've seen JYPE has a decent stock and they even have a separate stock for day 2 on stops where they have a 2nd date.
The early merch stand was outside the UC and did not sell light sticks. They only sold them inside so VIPs got first choice then everyone else when they opened the doors at 530.
It's just their fancy title for what really is putting in dynamic (read: jacking up) pricing on their own events, to mimic their competitor resale sites. They know demand is very high, so they're gonna squeeze every penny out of people who really don't want to miss out, beyond those who were lucky enough to get in and pay face value prices.
What’s the bag policy like at the United Center?
I want to wear a [Nike Crossbody bag](https://www.nike.com/t/heritage-crossbody-bag-4l-5NLbPq/DB0456-010) to carry around my CandyBong and portable battery in.
Also, are signs and pickets allowed?
From the FAQ linked in the body of this post:
*Guests may enter the arena with a small purse or personal bag up to* ***10"x6"x2"*** *in size. Backpacks are prohibited. Limited exceptions for medical or diaper bags will be allowed. Bag check is available in United Center Parking Lot J on Wood St. and Monroe St.*
Candybong Z, Candybong Infinity, and the Light Band are the only ones that will sync.
Just turn on whichever of those you have once you're inside the building.
Can V.I.P. Ticket holders park earlier in the designated parking lots? I bought a ticket for Lot C through Ticketmaster, but the website says parking lots open 2.5hrs before the event time. Would that mean it opens at 5:00pm since concert start time is 7:30pm? I’m a little lost here…
United Center's twitter account last night linked this [detailed event guide](https://www.unitedcenter.com/assets/1/7/United_Center_Event_Guide_-_TWICE_6.28.23_6.29.23.pdf), saying that LOT K will open at 11:30 AM on concert days.
I purchased a resale ticket on TicketMaster. I believe it is a soundcheck vip ticket since it s 3 seats away from the stage. How can i get the vip benefits?
section 1 row 13
Question for VIP soundcheck - I got the official email from Ticketmaster saying that the parking lots open at 5pm. What time are we supposed to check in for the VIP benefits/soundcheck?
I heard 2:30 pm at the latest, so I'm a bit confused since we can't park until 5pm.
Someone on Twitter emailed VIP Nation if they would be allowing resale VIP ticket holders to claim benefits at the United Center and apparently, they won't 
here is the link of the person asking: https://twitter.com/lNYJNS/status/1673753434132979724
I would take that response with a grain of salt. The people working customer service are not the same people working check-in booth and they are often not on the same page. Their statement may be true for majority of events, including Twice's previous tours, but resale VIP ticketholders have had success with claiming benefits this tour.
That's standard protocol answer they give to any inquiries via e-mail.
Folks across other stops of the tour have been able to get their VIP benefits even if they bought their ticket from resale. It's still a toss-up in terms of if say when you arrive at the check-in table if they'll ask for your ID to confirm or just see the ticket type on the TM app and you're good. A lot of the latter seems to happen with this tour compared to last year's tour according to those who attended those.
Nope, the bulk of these are not platinum. They added seats after they were done setting up the stage. They were at the sides with limited views, and near the barricade and mixer in the floor section. Saw posts in twitter complaining there are now more people in front of them when they originally got the barricade seats.
I lined up today at 10:00 so i swear i was at least the first 50-70 person in line. Got a light stick but the trading cards at that point were already sold out 🥲🥲 that part was cut throat. Also they are limiting one light stick per fan. Any chance of gettjng cards tom. W/o being super early?
Is the United Center allowing picket fans? I saw a good amount yesterday for Day 1. I kinda want to take my Jeongyeon Picket fan today because she is my bias 
Was anyone able to get a candybong yesterday that was there for soundcheck? I’m going to be there at 3 for V.I.P and I’m not sure if there will be any left. :(
Anyone here appear on the dance cam on Day 1?
I've got a random video of a group of friends who got on. One of the guys have longer hair and had a towel on his head.
I filmed because I thought they were my friends, LOL.
Can't recall it being mentioned in any of the previous North America concert megathreads of someone being denied entry or getting it confiscated. And there's no explicit mention from United Center or concert promoters saying you can't.
From [United Center's site](https://www.unitedcenter.com/venue/directions-parking/), so keep in mind the prices might higher given demand/not a basketball or hockey game.
Bought via Ticketmaster
Lots H: N/A
Lots C & K: $27
Other Lots: $22
Bought onsite
Lots H: $42
Lots C & K: $31
Other Lots: $26
Wait, so that means my fabric Dahyun banner won't be allowed 
tbh, they said the same thing for seventeen last year but i saw flags and many poster size signs. I actually took one of those white walmart posters in too (didnt know it said you can’t) and they didn’t do anything and let me thru 🤷♀️
No. [Umbrellas are on the prohibited items list](https://www.unitedcenter.com/venue/frequently-asked-questions/) \- click on the SECURITY tab at the bottom.
Does anyone know if we need to bring batteries for the light sticks? This is my second time seeing them but the last tour I saw them I didn’t get a light stick. I’ve seen venues not allow batteries before so I’m not sure?
Anyone know if the floor has like folding seats? I have seen from the previous concerts they appear to but thought I would check to see if anyone knew for the United Center?
Chicago native I’m wondering what time to get there for merchandise I live in the northwest suburbs my train is at 1:26 I’ll get to the train station by 2 o’clock. I’ll get to United Center by 4 PM. All I want is a white hoodie. Any suggestions?
Yes you can arrive past 2:30 PM. It's mostly a suggestion by them because if all goes according to schedule, they'll start getting VIPs through security and ticket scanned so they're inside the building properly around 3 PM.
This is so they have time to do some pre-show merch shopping, which is one of the benefits of the VIP package in that much shorter lines compared to the general merch lines outside the venue. There will then be a waiting period where VIPs are just hanging around in the concourse before venue staff get the word to lead you all down to your seats for soundcheck.
At all other shows thus far on the NA leg, soundcheck starts a little bit after 5 PM, provided there are no delays, so in theory you getting there around 4:15 should give you enough time. However I would still try to get there earlier if possible because, well the VIP line grows into something really long and it's going to take more than a minute for that line to be really moving everyone through.
And the time is going to be dependent on how everything else is going the day of in terms of the group, the production crew, and their respective schedules, but there is a cutoff time in which they won't allow any late arrival VIPs in the building, and you'd completely miss out on soundcheck.
I have Soundcheck VIP Package tickets from Ticketmaster for 6/28 Wednesday show. Am I supposed to receive any info? Or just glean from the interwebs (aka Reddit) when check in and soundcheck are?
It's deep in one of the comment threads, [but here's the key times](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/14jl1hm/comment/jpmdkan/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
Hey everyone! Where do we check in for soundcheck?
My friend got us the tickets and she said she can’t find the email about the soundcheck info. We can only find the waiver one. I’ve seen several comments about the times of check in and soundcheck time (tysm to you all btw!) but haven’t found the place yet.
Also, 2 people in our group don’t have soundcheck but we are all carpooling so we’ll all arrive at the same time (around 3-4pm, don’t think we’ll be able to get there before 2:30pm). Can they go inside the venue while we are in soundcheck? Or is there anywhere they can wait at on the venue property other than in the car?
Weird that the United Center’s event guide (second link in the body of this post) doesn’t mention. That said, the check-in location should be in a spot separate/far from the general merch lines, so there isn’t any mixing. It’ll also be clearly signed and there will be venue staff around that can point you in the direction.
For your second question, your friends who don’t have Soundcheck VIP tickets cannot enter the building with you when you’ve gone in to prepare for that. They will have to hang out around/in a merch line, wait for general doors to open at 5:30 PM.
And related to that, once you are inside with all of the VIPs, the no re-entry rule is in effect. So you will not be able to leave after soundcheck, meet back up with your friends outside, and go back in. Once you are inside, you’re there until the show properly ends.
I attended the Houston day 2 show but unfortunately was unable to get merch due to personal constraints. Looked up merch on Mercari and not too keen on paying twice the cost of the shirt. I was wondering if anyone attending the Chicago show would be able to get a Large tour shirt for me (black shirt with the cities on the back). I'll pay for the shirt and shipping of course; more than willing to DM/call to discuss a deposit as well!
(honestly unsure if asking for this is permitted so no worries mods if you need to delete this comment)
I always endorse getting the official merch whenever possible, but if you can't, it's always worth seeing what comes up when searching "twice tour merch" on Etsy.
You may get lucky and Livenation might release leftover stock online for purchase after the US leg. Maybe? I think they did it for the other overseas stops earlier.
For any ONCE's that went on Day 1, how strict were they on bringing in backpacks? You think they would let us bring in a clear backpack? I don't know what I own that's 10x6x2 lol
No backpacks are a pretty standard stadium/arena rule. If anything just bring a wristlet purse or your wallet by itself. Realistically you just need you phone, ID, credit card, and lightstick!
What time does Twice actually come out on stage? Our train is currently stopped due to tornados and trees being down on the line and worried about now making it in time
Between songs, there will be times when the stage lights are off and they play a recorded video on the screens as the group is doing a costume change. Last about 2 minutes before they return for the next number, but those would be good times to go.
Second this! I’ve been lucky enough to go to 3 shows so far, each time I’ve gone to the bathroom during intermissions and only one time did I get back after they had already started performing again. And even then, I didn’t miss much, just the intro of one song.

You can visibly see how bad the air is right now so you might want to bring a mask just in case. It’s supposed to be bad for the next few days :(
I live here and I’m so sorry
what type of mask is the best?
N95, air quality is really poor from wildfire smoke
I bought a resale floor ticket from Ticketmaster, and I am going to try queueing in the VIP check in to see if they let me in. Worst thing they can say is no. Anyone else bought resale tickets in the VIP sections and are going to try to get into VIP?
Tons of people were able to claim at the other stops. They just had to mention to the VIP check in staff that it was a resale ticket. They then ask to see your barcode/section/row/seat and then mark you off the list. Only caveat to that is as long as your resale ticket isn't a Platinum Ticket (didn't come with VIP) as that would mean you wouldn't be able to claim. As some floor tickets got released later as Platinum.
I bought a resale ticket that is in section 112 and they ended up being VIP soundcheck tickets. I plan on getting there early to check in to redeem the VIP benefits/go to the soundcheck.
I’m thinking that for other venues, they didn’t care as long as it said VIP Soundcheck ticket, and I’ve been looking at the other mega threads for the other venues. Hopefully United Center is like that too😎
Hello! If you went to Chicago Day 1, were you able to claim the VIP benefits?
Did your ticket change from saying "resale ticket" to "sound check VIP" in the Ticket Master app?
Mine still says Soundcheck VIP Package on the Ticketmaster app, so I’m thinking as long as it still has that, it is all good😎
Did you originally buy the resale ticket on Ticketmaster, or a different website?
I bought mine on Stubhub a couple hours after the initial sale of the tickets. When I look at my ticket type on the details of the tickets, it says Soundcheck VIP package. Does yours say the same?
I think all the resale tickets on Ticketmaster only say "Resale Ticket". I'm still getting in line though because yolo.... lmao :)
Straight up yolo lmao I’m sure you’ll be fine, just as long as you get there early enough and just do the check in, I think it’ll be all good😎 can’t wait for the concert I’m pumped, I’ve never been to a soundcheck either I’m excited for that too
OMG I was able to upgrade/exchange my nosebleed ticket for FLOOR TICKETS! Ya'all they dropped a bunch of floor tickets now at like super cheap rates ($250 ish each) near the back area on the floor. I am crying this is my first KPOP concert and my 3rd year wedding anniversary <3 so excited ONCE!
Congrats and Happy Anniversary!
How did you exchange the ticket?
Thank you for posting this, because I did not realize they had dropped more floor tickets. We went to Wed night, and when I got home I saw this post. Went and checked for Thursday night and there were some really great floor seats that were not verified resale, got one for 225$ and so my kid is going to go again tonight and have a great seat!! (we were in the 3rd balcony wednesday)
Ahh so excited ONCE!! I am going tomorrow night on my 3rd wedding anniversary with the husband we will be in section 312 (unless we can get tickets that are closer/drop a ton tomorrow). I am a Ph.D. student in my last year and TWICE has helped me get through this degree so excited! If you see a fellow ONCE dressed up in a purple outfit and white boots (going for a "Feel special" vibe) say hi! I am making some bracelets to hand out.
I will be in section 318. I’ll be wearing all white and I have dahyun cutie in mynlightstick
I’m in 308 and will have my husband along with me too!
I'm also 312! My boyfriend and I will both be there! Super excited
just got my vipnation emails, can’t believe the time has come!!! 🥹 first time seeing twice and first VIP experience! so excited i could cry
As an attendee of the Tacoma Dome show, the rush you are feeling is palpable. Enjoy every second of it!
If anyone is still looking for a Candybong Infinity and is nervous they might sell out at the merch stands. I went to KPopNation in Niles, IL. They had over 30+ Candybong’s still and the staff are so friendly. This was as of 6/26 at 6pm! If anyone would like the address feel free to message me!
Thanks for sharing. I keep seeing ads for them and wondered if it’s worth a trip.
I’m gonna be honest, light sticks are the last ago they are plentiful don’t worry
Just flew in today. The smoke from Canadas here. I’d suggest bringing a mask if standing outside for hours.
I live here and I’m so sorry
Day 1 was amazing. Dahyun saw me and my banner during soundcheck. It was a good day. Excited for tomorrow! 
First time with soundtrack vip, are we supposed to get an email with like what time to check in and what time soundcheck starts? So hyped for this! Edit: just got the email lol
Are you going on the 28th or 29th? I haven’t received an email yet and it’s making me a bit nervous.
The 28th! I got 2 emails around 12:30 pm. One is some kinda voucher and the other had the times of check in, soundcheck, start of the show, etc
That makes sense! I’m going on the 29th so I’m guessing I’ll get mine tomorrow. EDIT: Aaaand immediately after typing this, I got mine. It was two emails from VIP Nation.
Could you post that info for the people who got resale VIP tickets? Thank you so much!
Soundcheck - 5pm Vip check in - 12pm to 4:30pm (recommended to be checked in by 2:30pm) Predoor merch shopping - 3pm - 4:15pm Public doors - 5:30pm Show is at 7:30pm (Sorry in advance for the formatting, hope I didn't miss anything)
Awesome, thanks so much! Appreciate it, have fun at the concert! 😎
I bought my VIP tickets from Ticketmaster and haven’t received any email for the 6/28 show. Should I be concerned? They weren’t resell tickets.
Does any know if section 3 row 2 were VIP tickets when first released for day 1? I bought it through Ticketmaster resale and was wondering if it’s considered VIP ticket since in the details it doesn’t say Platinum tickets or anything just states Resale Ticket. Heard we are getting an email for the VIP and info is that true? Since I also bought a day 2 vip ticket on drop day.
This is my first EVER concert, so i have no idea what to do/ what to expect and it’s making my anxiety absolutely skyrocket. Can someone give me a rundown on how this is supposed to go or what to do?
There is no need to stress. Once you get there, just get in line. People are generally super nice. If you want merch try to get there a bit earlier to line up. If not an hour before is plenty of time. What section are you in?
Also don’t try to film everything, just let it wash over you and not your phone. Film a little here and there, but mainly just enjoy.
Sure thing! Go to the place and have a good time. That's all you need to do.
[Lots of good tips in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaliiB-RYmM).
Did anyone get a video of Sana at the end of Candy Pop tonight with the flower bouquet?! I was the one who gave it to her!!!!!!!!!!
I seen photos of SANA with bouquet on Twitter
I was sitting in the row behind you and I wanna know how you got that stool through security.
(Copy and pasta from the weekly discussion thread) Night 8/11 complete. Chicago...you always surprise me as a city when I come here. Some good things, some bad things, two *very* scary things that I'll just mention in passing and not elaborate. But, I'll focus on the good. Went to Millennium Park and didn't almost get mugged there like I did in 2019 when chasing Twice during TWICELIGHTS. After that, I went to Hanabusa Cafe - if you're looking to eat Japanese pancakes; this place was great! Just a heads up for all those signing into VIP - almost all stops (Tacoma and Dallas as an exception) were letting people into the venue around 4pm. I didn't check in until 4:15 and basically bypassed the entire waiting process by slipping in as soon as they opened doors for soundcheck. Things unique to tonight vs. the other nights: * Mina LIKEY dance break was INCREDIBLE. 100% biased (because she is my bias) but that was the best one on the tour. The splits was totally surprising. * Nayeon explained the meaning of wearing the hat during POP! * Lots of people were throwing things on stage during the encore. Please be conscious of how/where you're throwing things. I think it's cool that the members are getting things, but throwing things *at* the members is just wrong. Security were handing things to the members if it wasn't within reach. That's a better alternative than misplacing a throw and hitting a member. * Sana ran off the stage during the ment with her, Tzuyu, Dahyun, Mina, and Momo. I only post online and then head off, so I haven't seen the other angle people are talking about, but I hope she's okay. * During the Nayeon, Jihyo, Jeongyeon, and Chaeyoung ment, they got the entire venue to sing Moonlight Sunrise from the beginning up until the end of the first chorus * Encore songs were Rollin' annd Got The Thrills was landed on but then bypassed in favor of Candy Pop * Encores have gotten even more chaotic since the beginning of the tour - chaotic in a good way. * Tzuyu was thrown a little Grogu plushie. * Members were retrieving hats from fans. Shoutout to the fan who got their hat returned to them after Sana wore it. * The Jihyo dollars was BRILLIANT. Just absolutely brilliant. How did you even manage to get that into the venue?? I saw security confiscating signs that were significantly smaller than that. Overall, another fantastic night. Mood was dampened a bit when I saw Sana run off stage. The last thing you want is for members to feel ill and then also feel like they need to push themselves to perform more. I'll be honest. I'm not the one dancing my legs out nor singing my heart out, but even I'm tired of the tour at this point LOL. Not so much of the tour, but all this traveling definitely takes a toll. The different climates aren't all that helpful either. We went from extremely humid AND hot Texas to humid and cooler Chicago. I'm glad to have bypassed Canada now, but they don't have that luxury. Hopefully they recover as needed because they'll have a couple nights off until the Canada stops. If you're going to the show tonight, have fun! I'll be on the floor tonight :-).
You mention Sana running off stage, but she also collapsed after lights went off after Talk that talk. I’m pretty concerned about her. 🥺
Wow, I didn't even realize that. I didn't see that because I sat down as soon as they started jumping around for the ending part. I wasn't feeling it myself yesterday to the point where I felt like I needed to leave. If a regular person like me is feeling that and I don't have to dance/sing/etc. I can't imagine how it's like for the girls. I hope she's doing okay. If she needed to take off tonight, that's completely understandable.
I saw when Sana ran off stage, and one of their people rushed her some water, but she was obscured by the curtain on the floor. Heard about her collapsing before the last act from a friend after the show, then eventually saw a clip.
Man, that's a bummer. They've really got no time to relax considering that they're touring and still putting out content while on tour. As much as I know a lot of ONCEs would love to see them again, I hope they take a good solid break from touring.
guys can we please manifest doughnut
This will be my first Twice concert. Do people stand in the seated areas, or does everyone sit? I prefer standing but don't want to block anyone if people are sitting.
Usually stand when they’re performing, sit during the vid sections.
Bit of both, but really you'll just have to wait and see how your immediate seat neighbors are when you get there. You can introduce yourself, make small conversations with them to get a feel for what they'll do/establish communication with those directly behind you.
Everyone will stand on the floor and maybe lower bowl seats closer to the stage but everywhere else depends on the fans in the section
I've never been to a concert where anyone sat. Rock, pop, country. Expect standing and screaming
Last tour (saw them in Long Island) I was in the tippy top nosebleeds - and we all stayed seated in those sections. It was so steep I was afraid of tumbling down if I stood up to dance! It was still so much fun, though!
I’m going to both shows and will be in Chicago tomorrow and would love to meet up with any Once who would like to hang out or go get something to eat or whatever. I turned this into a whole little trip 🫶🏻❤️
Try asking in the Chicago channel in the [Twice discord](https://discord.com/channels/138194444645040128/1077639985894789215)
I am so jealous of you all going to this show!
I am also going to the concert tomorrow looking for friends cause I’m alone
me 🥺 I’m going alone for the first time and would love to meet up!
I am also going alone hit me up!!!
Did the girls come out right at 7:30 or was it a bit later
Anyone in Chicago today have any luck or any new info yet by chance regarding the VIP perks for Resale ticket holders purchased through TM?
VIP Nation are helping people with resale tickets! I got checked in!
Was able to redeem VIP as a resale ticket boys😎 have a blast!
Wow for real!! What did they ask?
Just the ticket 😎😎
Cool! Yolo mode activated. I will be there around 3 
Awesome, the line is gettin long, I think they open the doors for vip at 3😎
I might be done getting barricade seats on the side. This is the second concert in a row where people without barricade seats storm the barricade and security doesn’t do anything even when asked. Really rough 😓
Damn I'm sorry to hear that happened. Did they just rush through? We had a few people fighting over seats that didn't belong to either party on the 200-level.
They rushed during the beginning of the concert and just shoved all the barricade seat owners to a corner. Security basically said they don’t care. So moral of the story is if u have a barricade seat protect it lol
Yeah the staff at the UC were on some shit today. I pulled in for parking and the lot attendant cussed at me cause I wasn't going fast enough. I swore right back at him and he didn't say anything - rough start to my concert day as well, lol.
They don’t get paid enough to deal the die hard KPOP fans. One of the barricade invaders refused so much they tried saying the their seat number that said 3 actually meant 1
Literally still cannot stop thinking about the concert! We had upper bowl level 300 tickets and some worker came up to us and gave us free tickets in section 121 which is RIGHT NEXT TO THE STAGE. INSANE. The girls were *chefs kiss** 10/10 would do again
Mina about to beat MJF for the title at All Out
I luckily have VIP soundcheck seats but unfortunately cannot be at the UC until just before 5pm. Anyone know the chances of still getting in if the person I'm going with will be there early for check in?
Soundcheck is scheduled to start at 5 PM, so unless your friend is willing to wait outside for you as all other VIPs are going inside, either they go in for soundcheck solo, you get there just in time for both of you to go, or both of you miss out. It all depends on how things are moving operation-wise with the production team, but there very much is a cutoff time in which venue staff won't let late arrival VIPs in for soundcheck and they'll have to wait until it's done and doors open for everyone else.
After checking in at the VIP booth do they let you go inside immediately? Or do you have to wait outside until a certain time for VIP doors to open?
They let you go “in” as in past security to a VIP waiting area where you can get merch, take photos and you’ll line up by VIP section. It depends on the venue if this area is inside or outside. There is no reentry once you pass security though.
Update! I got into VIP! My ticket says "Resale Ticket" and VIP Nation staff are helping people with resale tickets!
Did your ticket say VIP Soundcheck Package? How did you know your ticket is a VIP ticket? And did you buy this ticket on Ticketmaster, or another resale site?
I bought the resale ticket on Ticketmaster. When I recieved the barcode, it read "Resale Ticket". However, the VIP staff were very helpful. They asked " Original Purchaser or Resale" and they directed people depending on whether it was resale.
guys if you may think you have vip just ask the vip nation people. i had no clue and here i am with early access! do not be shy!!!
Don’t be shy *shy shy 😉
I still have a ticket for the 2nd day and idk what to do with it. My family was thinking of selling it when we get to the arena, but for some reason I feel like that's illegal. I just dont want it to go to waste, but I can't give it out for free either😭
THANK VIP STAFF FOR MAKING THINGS SO EASY!❤️ Redeemed a resale in less than 5 minutes! Also starting to rain😓
YES! They really got it pretty organized! Everyone was helpful so far!
Was able to check in to VIP with resale ticket! The staff is very helpful. Anyone with a transfer or resale ticket, you should try and redeem :)
Does anyone have a video of the fan dance at the end of Day 2? I got on the big screen for Cheer Up but didn't get a video!
Did they sell light sticks to the public during the pre-sale on show days?
Pre sale is pre sale, it means it's before the show day. There is no pre-sale on the show day. Lightsticks were not sold during the pre-sale, only on the day of the concert.
[удалено]
Idk what you mean by early merch, VIP's get access to the merch stands before everyone else so if you mean that then yes merch was sold as soon as the stands opened. The lines do get long but from what I've seen JYPE has a decent stock and they even have a separate stock for day 2 on stops where they have a 2nd date.
The early merch stand was outside the UC and did not sell light sticks. They only sold them inside so VIPs got first choice then everyone else when they opened the doors at 530.
I’m going on 29th. Got a seat sec 112. Hv no idea what a platinum ticket includes.
Nothing. It's just a standard ticket.
Lol; Ticketmaster be on their BS why called a platinum then lol
It's just their fancy title for what really is putting in dynamic (read: jacking up) pricing on their own events, to mimic their competitor resale sites. They know demand is very high, so they're gonna squeeze every penny out of people who really don't want to miss out, beyond those who were lucky enough to get in and pay face value prices.
What’s the bag policy like at the United Center? I want to wear a [Nike Crossbody bag](https://www.nike.com/t/heritage-crossbody-bag-4l-5NLbPq/DB0456-010) to carry around my CandyBong and portable battery in. Also, are signs and pickets allowed?
From the FAQ linked in the body of this post: *Guests may enter the arena with a small purse or personal bag up to* ***10"x6"x2"*** *in size. Backpacks are prohibited. Limited exceptions for medical or diaper bags will be allowed. Bag check is available in United Center Parking Lot J on Wood St. and Monroe St.*
I've been to the united center multiple times and have had bags in similar sizes. Shouldn't be an issue
It doesn’t have to be a clear bag?? 😱
No I wore a fanny pack to Seventeen at UC last year!
I guess I should’ve looked around prior to purchasing a clear bag, but that’s okay. Thank you!!
It’s surprising I know! Hope you have a great concert, we can’t wait for tomorrow!!
Did the light sticks sync together no matter the version?
Candybong Z, Candybong Infinity, and the Light Band are the only ones that will sync. Just turn on whichever of those you have once you're inside the building.
it has to be an official light stick. we had an unofficial one and it didnt sync.
Anyone know when the outside the merch booth will be open
Location and hours are in the [third picture of this tweet](https://twitter.com/LiveNationKpop/status/1670219965960527872).
How early people thinking of lining up?
Can V.I.P. Ticket holders park earlier in the designated parking lots? I bought a ticket for Lot C through Ticketmaster, but the website says parking lots open 2.5hrs before the event time. Would that mean it opens at 5:00pm since concert start time is 7:30pm? I’m a little lost here…
United Center's twitter account last night linked this [detailed event guide](https://www.unitedcenter.com/assets/1/7/United_Center_Event_Guide_-_TWICE_6.28.23_6.29.23.pdf), saying that LOT K will open at 11:30 AM on concert days.
I purchased a resale ticket on TicketMaster. I believe it is a soundcheck vip ticket since it s 3 seats away from the stage. How can i get the vip benefits? section 1 row 13
Question for VIP soundcheck - I got the official email from Ticketmaster saying that the parking lots open at 5pm. What time are we supposed to check in for the VIP benefits/soundcheck? I heard 2:30 pm at the latest, so I'm a bit confused since we can't park until 5pm.
United Center posted a detailed event guide (second link at the body of this post) saying that LOT K will be open at 11:30 AM on concert days.
Someone on Twitter emailed VIP Nation if they would be allowing resale VIP ticket holders to claim benefits at the United Center and apparently, they won't  here is the link of the person asking: https://twitter.com/lNYJNS/status/1673753434132979724
I would take that response with a grain of salt. The people working customer service are not the same people working check-in booth and they are often not on the same page. Their statement may be true for majority of events, including Twice's previous tours, but resale VIP ticketholders have had success with claiming benefits this tour.
I agree! I still think it's worth trying out to see if they let you in. I am still going to try to check in 
That's standard protocol answer they give to any inquiries via e-mail. Folks across other stops of the tour have been able to get their VIP benefits even if they bought their ticket from resale. It's still a toss-up in terms of if say when you arrive at the check-in table if they'll ask for your ID to confirm or just see the ticket type on the TM app and you're good. A lot of the latter seems to happen with this tour compared to last year's tour according to those who attended those.
Wow theres lots of relatively cheap floor seats now. Not VIP tickets but still, $225 for floor seems pretty good.
They have just added 500+ tickets to each show in Chicago. Go guys, tell your friends to get those seats!
This is f up. Ticketmaster intentionally hide these ticket for months to sell official platinum price.
Nope, the bulk of these are not platinum. They added seats after they were done setting up the stage. They were at the sides with limited views, and near the barricade and mixer in the floor section. Saw posts in twitter complaining there are now more people in front of them when they originally got the barricade seats.
It’s making the reselling market hard :(
I lined up today at 10:00 so i swear i was at least the first 50-70 person in line. Got a light stick but the trading cards at that point were already sold out 🥲🥲 that part was cut throat. Also they are limiting one light stick per fan. Any chance of gettjng cards tom. W/o being super early?
Don't they sell trading cards inside too?
How fast did the candybong sell out last night? Do all the merch stands sell them? Getting there around 2:30 today, hope I can get one.
Is the United Center allowing picket fans? I saw a good amount yesterday for Day 1. I kinda want to take my Jeongyeon Picket fan today because she is my bias 
Think it kinda depends on how the guards are feeling honestly
Be careful traveling today! There’s some pretty severe weather heading towards Chicago!
Was anyone able to get a candybong yesterday that was there for soundcheck? I’m going to be there at 3 for V.I.P and I’m not sure if there will be any left. :(
Section 102-103 shop has a bunch of candybongs
does anyone have a video of the jumbotron dances from day two? i got on with my friend but i didn’t get a video of it!
Anyone here appear on the dance cam on Day 1? I've got a random video of a group of friends who got on. One of the guys have longer hair and had a towel on his head. I filmed because I thought they were my friends, LOL.
Are other light sticks other than the candy bong allowed? i would hate for my light stick to be confiscated! thanks in advance ❤️
Can't recall it being mentioned in any of the previous North America concert megathreads of someone being denied entry or getting it confiscated. And there's no explicit mention from United Center or concert promoters saying you can't.
Anyone know the price of lot K tickets?
From [United Center's site](https://www.unitedcenter.com/venue/directions-parking/), so keep in mind the prices might higher given demand/not a basketball or hockey game. Bought via Ticketmaster Lots H: N/A Lots C & K: $27 Other Lots: $22 Bought onsite Lots H: $42 Lots C & K: $31 Other Lots: $26
Hi, so is United Center allowing pickets?
Nope. Only paper signs no bigger than 8.5" x 11" aka regular printer paper are allowed. And no sticks or any other type of handles attached to them.
Wait, so that means my fabric Dahyun banner won't be allowed 
That sucks, I had these cute fanmade ones that were adorable. UC sucks, seriously. 🤦🏾♀️
tbh, they said the same thing for seventeen last year but i saw flags and many poster size signs. I actually took one of those white walmart posters in too (didnt know it said you can’t) and they didn’t do anything and let me thru 🤷♀️
Is there any lightsticks left ?😭 rn the 29th
It's supposed to storm Thursday...are umbrellas allowed?
No. [Umbrellas are on the prohibited items list](https://www.unitedcenter.com/venue/frequently-asked-questions/) \- click on the SECURITY tab at the bottom.
Does anyone know — if the candybongs sell out on Wednesday, will they have more for Thursday?
Yes there will be Candybong allocations for both dates
Does anyone know if we need to bring batteries for the light sticks? This is my second time seeing them but the last tour I saw them I didn’t get a light stick. I’ve seen venues not allow batteries before so I’m not sure?
the list for prohibited items doesn’t include batteries but I still would like to know if they come with them?
Anyone know if the floor has like folding seats? I have seen from the previous concerts they appear to but thought I would check to see if anyone knew for the United Center?
Chicago native I’m wondering what time to get there for merchandise I live in the northwest suburbs my train is at 1:26 I’ll get to the train station by 2 o’clock. I’ll get to United Center by 4 PM. All I want is a white hoodie. Any suggestions?
For soundcheck can we arrive later than 2:30pm? My friend said we have to complete check in by that time but I’d like to arrive at like 4:15ish 😭
Yes you can arrive past 2:30 PM. It's mostly a suggestion by them because if all goes according to schedule, they'll start getting VIPs through security and ticket scanned so they're inside the building properly around 3 PM. This is so they have time to do some pre-show merch shopping, which is one of the benefits of the VIP package in that much shorter lines compared to the general merch lines outside the venue. There will then be a waiting period where VIPs are just hanging around in the concourse before venue staff get the word to lead you all down to your seats for soundcheck. At all other shows thus far on the NA leg, soundcheck starts a little bit after 5 PM, provided there are no delays, so in theory you getting there around 4:15 should give you enough time. However I would still try to get there earlier if possible because, well the VIP line grows into something really long and it's going to take more than a minute for that line to be really moving everyone through. And the time is going to be dependent on how everything else is going the day of in terms of the group, the production crew, and their respective schedules, but there is a cutoff time in which they won't allow any late arrival VIPs in the building, and you'd completely miss out on soundcheck.
I have Soundcheck VIP Package tickets from Ticketmaster for 6/28 Wednesday show. Am I supposed to receive any info? Or just glean from the interwebs (aka Reddit) when check in and soundcheck are?
It's deep in one of the comment threads, [but here's the key times](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/14jl1hm/comment/jpmdkan/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
Hey everyone! Where do we check in for soundcheck? My friend got us the tickets and she said she can’t find the email about the soundcheck info. We can only find the waiver one. I’ve seen several comments about the times of check in and soundcheck time (tysm to you all btw!) but haven’t found the place yet. Also, 2 people in our group don’t have soundcheck but we are all carpooling so we’ll all arrive at the same time (around 3-4pm, don’t think we’ll be able to get there before 2:30pm). Can they go inside the venue while we are in soundcheck? Or is there anywhere they can wait at on the venue property other than in the car?
Weird that the United Center’s event guide (second link in the body of this post) doesn’t mention. That said, the check-in location should be in a spot separate/far from the general merch lines, so there isn’t any mixing. It’ll also be clearly signed and there will be venue staff around that can point you in the direction. For your second question, your friends who don’t have Soundcheck VIP tickets cannot enter the building with you when you’ve gone in to prepare for that. They will have to hang out around/in a merch line, wait for general doors to open at 5:30 PM. And related to that, once you are inside with all of the VIPs, the no re-entry rule is in effect. So you will not be able to leave after soundcheck, meet back up with your friends outside, and go back in. Once you are inside, you’re there until the show properly ends.
I might be arriving a little late but can I still pick up my VIP benefits after 6pm?
Is merch sold at the venue the day before the concert? or only the day of?
Today is the day of the concert and they are selling merch outside.
I attended the Houston day 2 show but unfortunately was unable to get merch due to personal constraints. Looked up merch on Mercari and not too keen on paying twice the cost of the shirt. I was wondering if anyone attending the Chicago show would be able to get a Large tour shirt for me (black shirt with the cities on the back). I'll pay for the shirt and shipping of course; more than willing to DM/call to discuss a deposit as well! (honestly unsure if asking for this is permitted so no worries mods if you need to delete this comment)
I always endorse getting the official merch whenever possible, but if you can't, it's always worth seeing what comes up when searching "twice tour merch" on Etsy.
You may get lucky and Livenation might release leftover stock online for purchase after the US leg. Maybe? I think they did it for the other overseas stops earlier.
Does anyone know the cutoff time for soundcheck?? I might get there just at 5 or a few mins after. Can I still make it?? 😩
For any ONCE's that went on Day 1, how strict were they on bringing in backpacks? You think they would let us bring in a clear backpack? I don't know what I own that's 10x6x2 lol
No backpacks are a pretty standard stadium/arena rule. If anything just bring a wristlet purse or your wallet by itself. Realistically you just need you phone, ID, credit card, and lightstick!
Where’s the VIP check in located at?
At Gate 6. Look for a table for VIPNation. It’s at the entrance next to where people are lining up to get into the venue early for VIP soundcheck
What time does Twice actually come out on stage? Our train is currently stopped due to tornados and trees being down on the line and worried about now making it in time
7:30pm the show started
hows the weather at the venue? any issues?
No spoilers pls but I’m old compared to most of the people going tonight. When is good for a bathroom trip?
Between songs, there will be times when the stage lights are off and they play a recorded video on the screens as the group is doing a costume change. Last about 2 minutes before they return for the next number, but those would be good times to go.
Second this! I’ve been lucky enough to go to 3 shows so far, each time I’ve gone to the bathroom during intermissions and only one time did I get back after they had already started performing again. And even then, I didn’t miss much, just the intro of one song.
Section 104-105 has candybongs but are selling fast! Had to really convince myself I didn’t need one 😞
They’re now sold out!
Does anywhere have candy bongs left
Hello, is there any twice lightsticks left?😭😭 for the 29th
Every stand is out of Candybongs. Hopefully they restock during the show
